More than tools. Much more. Profile of the tool manufacturer LUKAS-ERZETT.
For processing a wide variety of materials, be it in construction and handicraft or industry, and whether for milling, drilling, grinding and polishing or cutting – tool manufacturers must be able to do more than just produce tools and deliver them on time. This is the aspiration of the full-range supplier LUKAS-ERZETT, a recognised specialist for innovative, high-performance tools that has been continually setting new standards for over 85 years. With its broad and deep product range, individual special solutions and services that provide its customers with tangible added value. But one thing at a time.
The history of the tool manufacturer LUKAS-ERZETT and today’s full-range supplier began in 1937 in Engelskirchen, near Cologne. Today, the company employs around 650 people worldwide at state-of-the-art production and sales locations in Germany, England, Spain, the Czech Republic, South Africa and Shanghai. The very latest production processes, qualified specialist personnel, the highest quality and product safety standards, extensive warehousing for standard tools, finely-tuned logistics, as well as excellent adherence to delivery dates and delivery dependability, are the hallmarks of the tool manufacturer. Not to forget: the experts from LUKAS-ERZETT. They are constantly developing the product portfolio of the full-range supplier – and can already look back at over 10,000 special tool solutions and countless innovations.
Already mentioned several times, it is probably time to take a closer look at what “full-range supplier” actually means. At LUKAS-ERZETT, this is understood to mean the following: “We have the right tool for practically every application.” Sounds simple, but it’s not – because in practice it means that whether milling, grinding and polishing, cutting, drilling, cleaning and surface finishing; regardless of the material being machined, from aluminium, stainless steel and cast iron to wood, rubber, ceramics, steel and stone, through to titanium, plastics or composite materials – tool manufacturer LUKAS-ERZETT always has a suitable tool solution for its customers. In the ideal tool shape and size. And also for use with robot systems! For many different industries and always capable of achieving the desired results. For example, for machining components in foundries, shipyards and the automotive and vehicle industry, as well as for machine and plant engineering and mould making. The company also offers high-quality tool solutions for the precision machining of components such as turbine wheels in the aerospace industry – and last but not least for the construction and handicraft sectors. The most important thing for LUKAS-ERZETT is that every tool helps its customers to perform their work as easily, precisely and economically as possible, while achieving the perfect quality they require.
And what if the right tool is not available? Or does not even exist yet, and a special tool variant is needed? For machining new materials or for new production processes, for example. This is where all the experience gained from the manufacture of more than 10,000 special tool solutions, the many years of expertise and the extensive knowledge about users, production processes and industry possessed by the specialists at LUKAS-ERZETT come into play.
The tool manufacturer’s experts consider the customer’s applications, tasks and processes and work closely together with them to develop an individual, innovative and optimised special tool solution with regard to its characteristics such as the shape and size, material, tooth shape, cutting angle, thermal and mechanical load, special coatings and the machines on which it is to be used. This ranges from variants of existing tools to completely new special tool developments. Including thorough product and quality tests as well as process optimisation. This also includes training the customer’s employees in, for example, how the new tool should be most effectively used to exploit its full performance potential.
Alongside its comprehensive product portfolio and innovative special tools, tool manufacturer LUKAS-ERZETT also supports its customers with a wide range of services that create real added value. With the free LUKAS standard 360° data package, for instance, the full-range supplier provides comprehensive product information for every article in the LUKAS catalogue – for operating online shops or for a customer’s own product database, for example.
What’s more, the tool manufacturer shares its expertise on special training sessions for dealers, customers and users. Among other things, the tool manufacturer helps customers and users to benefit from free, needs-based tool training courses, seminars and webinars. The experts from the full-range supplier not only impart their in-depth knowledge of the various milling, grinding, polishing, cutting and drilling tools at LUKAS-ERZETT’s own technical centre with its adjoining practice area and online, but also visit customers and are available on site to provide advice and assistance.
